Personally, I have tried Autodesk's Maya and Adobe Flash and both are intriguing. What do you guys all use? I suppose some of you probably program your animations from code however i'm not at that level yet

I use 3ds max all the time so far it is the best program i have come across for any kind of 3d work. If you really want to learn how to use the program i would suggest going to www.the-area.com it's a site that is run by Autodesk.

Gmax. It's the free (and completely legal) version of 3d Studio Max. Go to http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax. Download it, register, and you can get TONS of models for free, or any price. You can also get models for Maya, 3D studio, and other 3D modeling programs.
